Week 2 Practice Worksheet Provide a response to the following
prompts. 1. The Wilcox &Keselman (2003) article from this week’s
electronic readings discusses two problems with measures of central
tendency: skewness of the data and outliers. Discuss each of these
issues and how they affect measures of central tendency. 2. How do
the sample mean and the population mean differ? What is the symbol
for each type of mean? 3. An expert reviews a sample of 10 scientific
articles (n = 10) and records the following numbers of error in each
article: 0, 4, 2, 8, 2, 3, 1, 0, 5, and 7. 1. Compute the mean, median,
mode, sum of squares (SS), the variance, and the standard deviation for
this sample using the definitional and computational formulas. You may
use Microsoft® Excel® data anlysis to compute these statistics and copy
your output into this worksheet. Explain, to a person who has never
had a course in statistics what you have done. 1. Note the ways in
which the means and standard deviations differ, and speculate on the
possible meaning of these differences, presuming they are
representative of U.S. governors and large corporations’ CEOs in
general. 4. A researcher records the levels of attraction for various
fashion models among college students. He finds that mean levels of
attraction are much higher than the median and the mode for these
data. 5. What is the shape of the distribution for the data in this
study? 1. What measure of central tendency is most appropriate for
describing these data? Why? 5. On a standard measure of hearing
ability, the mean is 300, and the standard deviation is 20. Provide the Z
scores for persons whose raw scores are 340, 310, and 260. Provide the
raw scores for persons whose Z scores on this test are 2.4, 1.5, and -4.5.
6. Using the unit normal table, find the proportion under the
standard normal curve that lies in the tail for each of the follow useing
table starting on page 673 (Hint: Remember to change all percents to
decimals): 1. Z = 1.00 2. Z = -1.05 3.Z = 0 4. Z = 2.80 5. Z = 1.96 7.
Suppose the scores of architects on a particular creativity test are
normally distributed. Using a normal curve table (pp. 673-676 of the
text), what percentage of architects have Z scores 8. above .10? 9.
below .10? 10. above .20? 11. below .20? 12. above 1.10? 13.
below 1.10? 8. A statistics instructor wants to measure the
effectiveness of his teaching skills in a class of 102 students (N = 102).
He selects students by waiting at the door to the classroom prior to his
lecture and pulling aside every third student to give him or her a
questionnaire. 1. Is this sample design an example of random
sampling? Explain. Assuming that all students attend his class that day,
how many students will the instructor select to complete his
questionnaire? 9. Suppose you were going to conduct a survey of
visitors to your campus. You want the survey to be as representative as
possible. 1. How would you select the people to survey? 1. Why
would that be your best method? 10. In a school band, 9 kids play
string instruments, 10 kids play woodwind instruments, 7 kids play
brass instruments, and 4 kids play percussion instruments. 1.What is
the probability that you randomly select a kid who plays a string or
percussion instrument? 1. What is the probability that you randomly

Select one of the following scenarios based on your particular field of
interest in psychology: • Industrial/Organizational Psychology: o A few
months ago, the upper management at a large corporation decided
they wanted to make major changes in the organization. Leadership is
concerned that employees may be resistant to the change, and they
want to find out if there is a change management method that would
help employees accept change more effectively and keep employee
satisfaction high. Two methods they have considered are the ADKAR
Framework and the Prosci Change Management Methodology. The
company wants to implement a small change in two departments
before they make any major organization changes and would like to
test the methods. The corporation uses the Devine Company to measure
employee satisfaction with an anonymous survey. • Applied Psychology:
o A large medical facility is experiencing too many missed appointments
in its primary and specialty care clinics. The facility has noticed that not
all patients respond well to reminder calls regarding follow-up
appointments. Some patients do not answer calls and do not seem to
respond to voice mail requesting they call the facility. The result is that
many follow up appointments are missed. Management has read
articles that people respond very well to text messages and would like
to see which method provides the least amount of missed
appointments. Missed appointments are tracked in the facility database
on a monthly basis. • General Psychology: o Clinicians at a small clinic
have been introduced to a new method to treat post-traumatic stress
disorder (PTSD) in their clients for veterans. Research indicates that
virtual reality (VR) is a highly effective treatment option for patients
with PTSD. Currently, the clinic uses only cognitive processing therapy
(CPT) with their patients suffering from PTSD. The clinicians would like
to find out whether VR therapy has different results from CPT therapy.
The measure used by the clinic to measure PTSD symptoms is the
Combat Exposure Scale. Both therapies need to be applied for a
minimum of 12 weeks to be effective. Write a 525- to 750-word paper
that addresses the following for your chosen scenario: • Clearly define
the problem or issue you are addressing. Provide a brief background of
any research you have found that might affect your research
hypothesis. • Create a research hypothesis based on the information
provided in each scenario. You will be given a data set with two sets of
interval data (just the numbers, as you must decide what they
represent, such as method A results or method B results). This means
you are going to test one thing against another, such as which method
works best (step 1 of the steps to hypothesis testing). State the null and
research hypotheses. Explain whether these hypotheses require a one-
tailed test or two-tailed test, and explain your rationale. • Describe the
sample you will use. Sample size will be 30 for each group, which will be
provided in your data set. Explain what type of sampling you selected.
You may create your own data set if you want, as it is only
hypothetical—you do not need to collect any data. • Do you think you
would also collect some descriptive data, such as gender, age, or shift?
Why do you think it makes sense to collect descriptive data? Format
your paper according to APA guidelines. Example You have a hypothesis
that two drugs have different effects on lowering anxiety. You would
have anxiety scores for drug A and anxiety scores for drug B (all after 4
weeks of treatment) to run inferential analysis after 4 weeks. • Null
hypothesis is H0: drug A = drug B • Research hypothesis is H1: drug A ≠
drug B • Dependent variable: Anxiety score changed after treatment. •
Independent variable: drug treatment Because you did not state a
direction in your hypotheses (better than or worse than), this will be a
two-tailed test. You are looking for differences in either direction. You
would set your alpha level of .05 and have a sample for each group of
30 people that were volunteers for the study.

Week 3 Practice Worksheet Provide a response to the following
prompts. Note: Each team member should compute the following
questions and submit them to the Learning Team forum. The team
should then discuss each team member’s answers to ascertain the
correct answer for each question. Once your team has answered all the
questions, submit a finalized team worksheet. 1. When a result is not
extreme enough to reject the null hypothesis, explain why it is wrong to
conclude that your result supports the null hypothesis. 2. List the
five steps of hypothesis testing and explain the procedure and logic of
each. 3. A researcher wants to know whether people who regularly

confidence interval is __________. 7. If the sample mean is 75, the
upper limit for the 95% confidence interval is __________. 6.A
psychology professor of a large class became curious as to whether the
students who turned in tests first scored differently from the overall
mean on the test. The overall mean score on the test was 75 with a
standard deviation of 10; the scores were approximately normally
distributed. The mean score for the first 20 students to turn in tests was
78. Using the .05 significance level, was the average test score earned
by the first 20 students to turn in their tests significantly different from
the overall mean? 1. Use the five steps of hypothesis testing. 1.
Figure the confidence limits for the 95% confidence interval.

1. Two boats, the Prada (Italy) and the Oracle (USA), are competing for
a spot in the upcoming America’s Cup race. They race over a part of the
course several times. The sample times in minutes for the Prada were as
follows: 12.9, 12.5, 11.0, 13.3, 11.2, 11.4, 11.6, 12.3, 14.2, and 11.3. The
sample times in minutes for the Oracle were as follows: 14.1, 14.1, 14.2,
17.4, 15.8, 16.7, 16.1, 13.3, 13.4, 13.6, 10.8, and 19.0. For data
analysis, the appropriate test is the t test: two-sample assuming unequal
variances. The next table shows the results of this independent t test. At
the .05 significance level, can you conclude that there is a difference in
their mean times? Explain these results to a person who knows about the
t test for a single sample but who is unfamiliar with the t test for
independent means. 2. The Willow Run Outlet Mall has two Haggar
Outlet Stores, one located on Peach Street and the other on Plum Street.
The two stores are laid out differently, but both store managers claim
their layout maximizes the amounts customers will purchase on impulse.
A sample of 10 customers at the Peach Street store revealed they spent
the following amounts more than planned: $17.58, $19.73, $12.61,
$17.79, $16.22, $15.82, $15.40, $15.86, $11.82, $15.85. A sample of 14
customers at the Plum Street store revealed they spent the following
amounts more than they planned when they entered the store: $18.19,
$20.22, $17.38, $17.96, $23.92, $15.87, $16.47, $15.96, $16.79, $16.74,
$21.40, $20.57, $19.79, $14.83. For data analysis, a t test: two-sample
assuming unequal variances was used. At the .01 significance level, is
there a difference in the mean amount purchased on an impulse at the
two stores? Explain these results to a person who knows about the t test
for a single sample but who is unfamiliar with the t test for independent
means. 3. Fry Brothers Heating and Air Conditioning, Inc. employs
Larry Clark and George Murnen to make service calls to repair
furnaces and air conditioning units in homes. Tom Fry, the owner,
would like to know whether there is a difference in the mean number of
service calls they make per day. Assume the population standard
deviation for Larry Clark is 1.05 calls per day, and 1.23 calls per day
for George Murnen. A random sample of 40 days last year showed that
Larry Clark made an average of 4.77 calls per day. For a sample of 50
days, George Murnen made an average of 5.02 calls per day. At the .05
significance level, is there a difference in the mean number of calls per
day between the two employees? What is the p-value? Chapters 11 & 12
1. A consumer organization wants to know if there is a difference in the
price of a particular toy at three different types of stores. The price of
the toy was checked in a sample of five discount toy stores, five variety
stores, and five department stores. The results are shown below. An
ANOVA was run and the results are shown below. At the .05
significance level, is there a difference in the mean prices between the
three stores? What is the p-value? Explain why an ANOVA was used to
analyze this problem. 2. A physician who specializes in weight control

Provide a response to the following questions. Note: Each team member
should compute the following questions and submit them to the Learning
Team forum. The team should then discuss each team member’s answers
to ascertain the correct answer for each question. Once your team has
answered all the questions, submit a finalized team worksheet. Your
research team has been tasked with finding the correlation of the
following scenario: Four research participants take a test of manual
dexterity (high scores mean better dexterity) and an anxiety test (high
scores mean more anxiety). The scores are as follows: Person Dexterity
Anxiety 1 1 10 2 1 8 3 2 4 4 4 -2 Describe the process your research
team would go through by completing the following: 1. Create a scatter
diagram of the scores, which should be a negative direction. 2. Describe
in words the general pattern of correlation, if any. 3. Figure the
correlation coefficient. 4. Explain the logic of what you have done,
writing as if you are speaking to someone who has never heard of
correlation (but who does understand the mean, standard deviation, Z
scores, and hypothesis testing). 5. Provide three logically possible
directions of causality, indicating for each direction whether it is a
reasonable explanation for the correlation in light of the variables
involved. Explain why.

Some patients do not answer calls and do not seem to respond to voice mail requesting they call the facility. The result is that many follow up appointments are missed. Management has read articles that people respond very well to text messages and would like to see which method provides the least amount of missed appointments. Missed appointments are tracked in the facility database on a monthly basis. • General Psychology: o Clinicians at a small clinic have been introduced to a new method to treat post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in their clients for veterans. Research indicates that virtual reality (VR) is a highly effective treatment option for patients with PTSD. Currently, the clinic uses only cognitive processing therapy (CPT) with their patients suffering from PTSD. The clinicians would like to find out whether VR therapy has different results from CPT therapy. The measure used by the clinic to measure PTSD symptoms is the Combat Exposure Scale. Both therapies need to be applied for a minimum of 12 weeks to be effective. Write a 525- to 750-word paper that addresses the following for your chosen scenario: • Clearly define the problem or issue you are addressing. Provide a brief background of any research you have found that might affect your research hypothesis. • Create a research hypothesis based on the information provided in each scenario. You will be given a data set with two sets of interval data (just the numbers, as you must decide what they represent, such as method A results or method B results). This means you are going to test one thing against another, such as which method works best (step 1 of the steps to hypothesis testing). State the null and
  • 13. research hypotheses. Explain whether these hypotheses require a one- tailed test or two-tailed test, and explain your rationale. • Describe the sample you will use. Sample size will be 30 for each group, which will be provided in your data set. Explain what type of sampling you selected. You may create your own data set if you want, as it is only hypothetical—you do not need to collect any data. • Do you think you would also collect some descriptive data, such as gender, age, or shift? Why do you think it makes sense to collect descriptive data? Format your paper according to APA guidelines. Example You have a hypothesis that two drugs have different effects on lowering anxiety. You would have anxiety scores for drug A and anxiety scores for drug B (all after 4 weeks of treatment) to run inferential analysis after 4 weeks. • Null hypothesis is H0: drug A = drug B • Research hypothesis is H1: drug A ≠ drug B • Dependent variable: Anxiety score changed after treatment. • Independent variable: drug treatment Because you did not state a direction in your hypotheses (better than or worse than), this will be a two-tailed test. You are looking for differences in either direction. You would set your alpha level of .05 and have a sample for each group of 30 people that were volunteers for the study. ============================================== PSY 315 Week 3 Practice Problem Worksheet (Version 7) FOR MORE CLASSES VISIT
